1.4 Access, Capabilities and Permissions

WP-HR Manager has several built-in user roles that help to manage the system properly. These roles also help control the security and privacy of your website.

User Roles

In addition to the standard default User Roles added by WordPress, WP-HR Manager adds the following:

Employee: This is the default user role for employees and is created when a new employee is set up. Users with this role can access the back-end to view the HR Dashboard, their HR Profile and their WordPress Profile. However, if you would like them to be ‘pushed’ to the front-end profile when they log in (it’s a nice interface where they don’t see WordPress menus etc) then you have the option to set this in their profile.

HR Manager: The HR Manager role can access and change records and settings.

How to Set User Roles

There are two ways to set User Roles for users:

Option 1: Using the WordPress User Profile Page

Navigate to- WP Dashboard → Users → All Users

Now, click on the user you want to amend. You will find a new section added after installing and activation plugin (see screenshot below).
